Can I install Windows on System76?

For System76 machines with Intel hardware, Windows Update is rather effective at finding drivers. We also recommend using Intel Driver Update Utility, which will automatically detect and install drivers for Intel hardware. For our Open Firmware and Open EC systems, you can download the Windows drivers here.

What is the best System76 laptop?

Best Premium: System76 Oryx Pro
The System76 Oryx Pro is the best Linux laptop for you if you want all the works. It's highly customizable so you can get exactly what you need out of your build. And it comes with System76 Open Firmware with coreboot, giving you super short boot times.

What motherboard does System76 use?

The motherboard included with the base model is Gigabyte's Aorus B450 Pro wifi. I'm not entirely sure if this is the same board they use with the Ryzen R9 3950X configuration but it's not a bad choice. The Noctua NH-U9S sits atop a Ryzen 3200G in this base model.
